Completely wrong metrics are being used in this study to measure "well being". I'm concerned about attention span, communication skills, critical thinking, social skills, etc. and I'm sure these are also the things most parents care about when restricting phone/screen time.

The markers of wellbeing that the study picked seem eminently reasonable as emblematic of several of these areas, although certainly not exhaustive.
